In this trial of a brief chronic illness-tailored preventive intervention, medically vulnerable youths with a high risk of alcohol use and harm decreased alcohol use.
Study context
- Population

- Participants
- 451 participants
- Comparison
- Self-administered, tablet-based disease-tailored TGC intervention vs treatment as usual, by baseline alcohol-use risk
- Primary endpoint
